As always, since goalies are such a fickle bunch, rank them via tiers. Goalies within the same tier should be considered equal value. If you’re a stickler, I did leave in the ratings though.

Tier 0

The only goalies who are completely safe owns, and elite owns. They’ll give you plenty of wins, fewer losses, and good peripheral stats. They generally don’t get hurt, and are fairly consistent. Yes, this Tier is a small one.

May ’25	Goalie	Team	Rating	Apr ’25	Tier
1	Connor Hellebuyck	WPG	109.3	1	0
2	Andrei Vasilevskiy	TBL	94.2	2	0

Tier 1

Good goaltenders who are the clear starters for their team. They are generally going to be safe picks, they should give you solid stats, and each one has upside for greatness in the coming seasons.

3	Jake Oettinger	DAL	89.6	3	1
4	Ilya Sorokin	NYI	86.1	5	1
5	Filip Gustavsson	MIN	85.0	4	1
6	Igor Shesterkin	NYR	83.3	6	1
7	Mackenzie Blackwood	COL	77.3	9	1
8	Dustin Wolf	CGY	75.7	7	1
9	Pyotr Kochetkov	CAR	74.7	10	1
10	Logan Thompson	WAS	74.5	8	1
11	Jacob Markstrom	NJD	68.3	11	1

Tier 2

Either clear-cut number one goalies, but on weaker teams. Or they are in a shared situation right now, but with tremendous upside in the future. Or they are on top teams but have a shaky track record of late. There is some risk here but also some upside.

12	Joey Daccord	SEA	69.5	13	2
13	Sergei Bobrovsky	FLA	67.2	14	2
14	Jeremy Swayman	BOS	65.9	15	2
15	Adin Hill	VGK	64.2	16	2
16	Stuart Skinner	EDM	63.8	12	2
17	Karel Vejmelka	UTA	63.1	17	2
18	Linus Ullmark	OTT	62.8	18	2
19	Juuse Saros	NSH	62.0	20	2
20	Lukas Dostal	ANA	60.3	19	2
21	Darcy Kuemper	LAK	60.1	21	2
22	Sam Montembeault	MON	56.7	22	2

Tier 3

A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.

30	Samuel Ersson	PHI	46.6	29	3
31	Thatcher Demko	VAN	38.3	31	3

Tier 4

The starting goalies on terrible teams, backup goalies on great teams, some very good prospects who are getting closer – and everything in between. With the right bounces, some of these goalies may become stars. Some will see their last career NHL game this season. Lots of risk here.
